The scene became strange. After a while, Zhu Jun suddenly laughed loudly, looked at the messenger and said, "Tell me quickly, what is your majesty's will?"

"Return to the general, Your Majesty said that the chief evil Li Jue and Guo Si have been punished. Although the other evils are guilty of helping evil, they think that God has the virtue of being a favorable person, and following evils is not based on the original intention of the generals. Therefore, they are depressed by the officers at all levels, demoted to one level, and sentenced to one year of salary, and practiced soldiers diligently, and must not cause trouble for the people without reason." He took out a roll of silk cloth from his arms and handed it to Zhu Jun.

"Okay!" Zhu Jun took the silk cloth and confirmed it once, and couldn't help but smile: "Although Your Majesty is young, he already has a bit of a wise king. It is a blessing for the Han Dynasty and the world! This general has offended him before."

"No obstacle." The visitor shook his head quickly and looked at the three of them and said, "Your Majesty should have the order. He should have been sent to General Zhang Ji's military camp at this moment. The last general still has military affairs, so it is not convenient to stay for a long time, so he said goodbye."

Zhu Jun nodded and ordered someone to change him a good horse. Li Jue and Guo Si were already killed. The overall situation in Chang'an has been controlled by Liu Xie. If he leads his army to Chang'an at this moment, it will not be to support the country, but to go to the court for cholera.

Zhu Jun has been in the officialdom for many years, so he naturally knew this principle. Although he wanted to return to Chang'an immediately and return to the court, he also knew that at this moment, what he should do more is to help His Majesty control the military power and not to make these Western Liang troops turbulent again.

He didn't think that these Xiliang troops would honestly accept Liu Xie's power. Although Chang'an was pacified, the Xiliang troops were scattered in Guanzhong. Once chaos arose, the blow to the people's livelihood in Guanzhong would be disastrous. He stayed here and could suppress the rebellion at any time and clear the obstacles for Your Majesty to regain power.

At present, he ordered Zhang Ji to return to the camp to take charge of military affairs and train hard, but kept Zhang Xiu. He loved this brave and strategic young general and wanted to stay in the army. He taught one or two, but he could not say that he would be a good general in the Han Dynasty in the future, and it would be better than a strong man who was protected under Zhang Ji's wings. If a man did not go through the storm, how could he accomplish anything?

At the same time, he sent someone to Hongnong and told Huangfu Song that the two had known each other for many years. Although they had different families, they were of similar temperaments. Now the revitalization of the Han Dynasty is expected to be held. Such happy events should be shared with old friends.

However, the chaos of the Xiliang army did not wait. While Liu Xie sent people to issue an imperial edict in Guanzhong, Xu Huang and Fan Chou also went to war at the same time to regain military power in various places. In less than half a month, with the two big banners of Li Jue and Guo Si, the two flags of Western Liang, Fan Chou, were loyal to the powerful generals like Fan Chou, and veterans such as Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, shaking flags and shouting for Liu Xie, and the troops stationed in various places were quickly surrendered by the troops sent by the court.

At the same time, the military power in various places was also divided by Liu Xie. During the war, the army's chief generals must not exceed 10,000 troops. After Liu Xie took power, the first thing he did was to firmly grasp the military power. The power of the chief generals of each army was definitely not a good thing for Liu Xie. Of course, Liu Xie also knew that haste would not be achieved, so the generals of Xiliang were still the generals who led the army, but in terms of system, they made changes, and listed a separate list of those who recorded military merits, responsible for reviewing the merits and promotions of the soldiers of each army.

Although it is not different from before, as time goes by, although the chief generals in the army remain unchanged, the grassroots generals are equivalent to Liu Xie directly promoting him. The army's sense of belonging to the court will be greatly enhanced, and the generals' right to possess the army will be weakened. Just wait for a new round of grassroots generals to come up with a new round of grassroots generals, and Liu Xie's military power will be unprecedentedly condensed, and there is no need to worry about the emergence of uncontrolled warlords under his command.

Of course, these things take time to ferment. At least at present, the control of military power has not reached the height that Liu Xie wants to see. The food must be eaten one bite at a time and the road must be taken step by step. After taking power, Liu Xie did not immediately do anything to the princes of Guandong. Instead, a new problem arose from Zhu Jun, who had not returned to the court, not long after Liu Xie ordered it to convey to various parts of Guanzhong.

...

Hongnong, an unknown village.

Several thick black smoke columns have begun to fade, and a strong smell of fishy smell can be smelled from afar. Anyone who has experience in the battlefield knows that this is the smell emitted by the corpse after it has rotted for many days.

Zhang Xiu looked at the outline of the village from afar. Perhaps it could no longer be called a village, but now it has turned into a ruin. The dead silence makes people feel the trace of vitality in this village.

"General, it's gone." A whistle detective came to Zhang Xiu with a gloomy face.

"Let's go and have a look." Zhang Xiu frowned, patted the horse under his crotch, and the war horse made a low neigh and trotted forward.

"General, don't go." The siege followed Zhang Xiu with a wry smile.

"Why?" Zhang Xiu said expressionlessly.

"The scene is really a bit..." The whistle detective shook his head and smiled bitterly, but he didn't know how to say it any further.

Zhang Xiu did not answer, but did not stop. He led a team of soldiers and horses. Soon, he had already arrived outside the village. Looking at the ruins in front of him, Zhang Xiu's face turned pale, and a strong desire to vomit was suppressed by him.

The village is not big, and it is only about five hundred steps in a radius. Looking at the traces that have not been completely burned, I think it is not a few days before the disaster comes.

The woman who was in a corpse, and who was nailed to death by wooden stakes, was naked. She obviously experienced a tragic encounter during her lifetime. She could no longer find any intact skin on her body, and could not even see a human form. Zhang Xiu could not think about the painful torture she had suffered during her lifetime.

He even found the human skeleton in a big pot he had put up. Judging from the size of the skeleton, it was clearly the skeleton of a young child.

Even though Zhang Xiu was used to killing, the tragic scene in front of him still made him feel confused. After a long time, he turned his head to look at the veterans beside him: "Do you know who did these? It seems that they don't look like bandits and bandits."

There is also a saying in the thief. Although the bandits and bandits of this era became bandits, there are still basic principles of being a human being, and they are not as vicious as imagined. At least some bandits and bandits Zhang Xiu had seen were far from being so inhumane.

"It seems that it was the Hu people from the north who came." A veteran turned over to Rome, investigated around him before returning to Zhang Xiu and said with a wry smile.

"Huns?" Zhang Xiu raised his eyebrows: "How could they go straight into Guanzhong?"

The veteran said: "The general doesn't know that in order to resist the Huns, the First Emperor built a line that can go directly to Guanzhong from the Hetao area. If the cavalrymen can reach it in less than ten days. These Husky men may have found this ancient road."
